gag q their neighbors were
full-tiedged witches. possessed of re-
markable powers, even to the saddling
and bridling a man. and with sharp
spurs riding him all over the worst roads
a distorted mind could imagine. The
next morning the poor man would be so
tired and sore that he could hardly
move. says the Fevay Und.) ReYeille.
At other times the poor housewife would
clurn half day and would not get a
particle of butter. The only remedy
was to take an old horseshoe that had
been worn on the left foot of bald-face
horse. and heat it hot, and drop it into
the churn. which was pretty certain to
expel the terrible witch.
One who tried rhe experiment said:
'When l dropped the red-hOt shoe into
the churn | heard something run off the
roof of the house, and | Smelt hair just
as sure as YOU are born, and in five min
uteS | had churn nearly full of butter.
The next day | saw the woman that |
believed had beWitched the butter, and
her hair was crisped Oh one side in the
very shape of horseshoe
If the above remedy failed, the next
thing to do was to draw life-Size pic
ture of the supposed witch and nail it
upon tree and then run silver bullet
out of a silver dollar and shoot the
image. The last act was considered a
complete cure.
One of the ardent believers in witch
eS. man in the prime of life. possessed
OF fair sense in other matters, told in
our hearing what a trying ordeal he had
passed through a few evenings before.
He had been to visit the sick and was
returning about 10 o'clock through the
fields, often climbing high fences.
Finally, as he got up on high ten-rail
fence, with one leg thrown over the top
rail, he saw standing on the other side
one whom he knew to be witch"
She said nothing, but put a spell on him
that riveted him to the spot, and he
said he was as SpeechleSS as Lots wife
when she was turned into salt. When
daylight came the witch vanished. and
he got over the fence and went home.
He says the top rail was very sharp
one, and he didn't get over the soreness
for month.
When the hens failed to hatch their
eggs it was laid or the witches. The
Witches always did their worst work on
Friday. If the rail fences fell down
when they were covered with sleet and
ice, the witches were blamed with it. If
a calf got chOked Oh apples OF potatoes,
the witches were responsible. 1t was
fact not to be wondered at that every
one of those believers in witches be-
lieved the world to be flat"
Many of them would have hung the
supposed witches, as their ignorant
fOrefatherS did in an early day. if they
had been possessed of the power. Two
of the men snapped wives for a month
or so. and it was ali laid at the doors of
those terrible witches.

Love songs are plentiful with the Afghans,
though whether they are acquainted with
love is rather doubtful Woman with the
Afghans is purchasable commodity. She
is not wooed and won with her own consent;
she is bought from her father. The average
price of young and good looking girl is
from about 800 to 800 rupees To reform the
ideas of an Afghan upon that matter would
be a desperate task. When Said Ahmed, the
great Wahab leader, the prophet, leader and
king Of the Yusufzai Afghans, tried to abol-
ish the marriage by sale his power fell at
once. He had to fee for his life, and died an
outlaw. There is no song in the world so sad
and dismal us that which is sung to the bride
by her friends. They come to congratulate
no, to console her, like Jephtha's daughter
they go to her, sitting in a corner, and sing:
You remain sitting in corner and cry for US.
What can do for you?
Your father has received the money
All of love that the Afghan knows is jeal-
ousy. All crimes are said to have their cause
in one of the three Z's-zar, Zamin or zon-
money, earth or women The third 2 is, in
fact, the most frequent of the three causes =

A reporter met on the streets of Birming-

Litchfed now stands. The mans name is

POVERTY OF PARIS.
SOMBER SIDE OF LIFE IN THE
FRENCH CAPITAL.

A Census of the Existent Indigency-one
Hundred and Forty Thousand People
Enrolled for Public Charity-List of
Paupers of Foreign Birth.
Who has not in his minds eye linked the
name Paris with gayety and pleasurea Who
has not conceived Paris vast haven where
the cares of earth are cast aside, where mis-
cry and misfortune are unknown, where
human enjoyment has reached its climax,
and where fountains of pure silver have
an unceasing fows The casual tourist
finds no contradiction in this roseate ideal,
for Paris in itself is a world whose varie-
gated social strata present separate studies
which could be profitably pursued for life
time. The French have the happy faculty
of presenting the bright side of everything,
while their proverbial good manners add an
additional luster which is well calculated to
satisfy the ordinary mind
But Paris without riches and poverty, vice
and virtue, happiness and misery, would, in
deed, be a strange anomaly of human asso-
citation. 1t is true we get CLEAN of certain
phases of Partisan life from the "ConfessioIl
of Claud, ,n''L 'L'Assomoirn or Camille" yet
it is hard to believe that such a degree of de
pravity has secure footing in the French
capital. The facts have not been overdrawn
however, the only dispute being the exteni
to which vice has obtained

As to the existent indigency more rational
data can be obtained. Every three years a
census is taken of the population enrolled at
the beneticence offices of the twenty districts
into which Paris is divided The object Of
the census is twofold First, by IS are Oh
tained the names of all persons who are en-
titled to public aid; second, a close study is
made of their true situation with a view to
rendering as many as possible self sustaining.
According to the previous register there
were enrolled for public charity 81 ,sSl heads
of families, representing 140, ,5S5 persons The
board of visitors have eliminated 4, 900 heads
of families, representing 1900, leaving regis
tered at present a ,627 heads of families or
l23, ,S4 persons. Comparing this result with
that of 1880 we find the number of heads OF
families has increased by SIP, while the in
dividuals comprised have diminished by All.
Each dependent domestic group is therefore
relatively less numerous while the individual
applicants have sensibly increased. In 1880
Paris had 1895, ,6O6 inhabitants and 12S, 7735
indigents or Il u per cent To-day the popu.
lation is g ,2fs 900, of which 5.43 per cent. are
dependent on public charity.
In all the districts the number of assisted
women is far greater than that of the men.
For every "a males enrolled there are Al fe-
males. This is easily explained on the
grounds that the labor of women is less re-
munerative, and they have less repugnance
in recurring to the public charities
